THE    BUILDING     OF    MENARD     COl'NTY'S     llo\oif     HOOK     AM)     lfi;<'Olfl>. 

If  on  the  pages  within  some  criticism  /*  voiced  regarding  tin'  irorl;  of  th<  writers 
and  compilers  of  this  book,  we  crave  the  leniency  of  a  gra<fions  pnhlie  in  tliis  reward'. 

It  has  been  our  mm  to  build*  a  complete  book,  conliiining  tin'  record.^  and  photo 
graphs  of  all  the  men  of  Menard  County  who  entered  the  sewi<-c,  and  ire  inin-  *nav<d 
no  time  or  energy  to  bring  about  this  desired  end. 

Our  extensive  notification  work  lias  reached  evcrii  home  in  the  county;  it  lias  been 
distributed  in  impartial  fairness  between  the  various  neir*  sin r/x  ;  and-  local  agents 
dotted  all  over  the  county  and  in  each  community  center  bare  ma<le  it  their  basincs* 
to  co-operate  with  us  in  the  matter  of  explaining  the  //o.vo/,'  i;o<)K. 

The  splendid  telephone  system  over  thin  count)/  has  been  brought  to  bear  on  the 
delinquent  biographies  and  photographies  in  a  manner  Unit  could  xearcely  leave  any 
soldiers  or  sailors  home  in  ignorance  of  the  HONOR  BOOK  and  its  mission. 

All  available  lists  in  the  county  of  men  who  hare  entered  the  service  have  been'' 
exhausted,  adding  from  time  to  time  names  not  found  on  <mu  of  these  /fsf.s  as  they 
have  come  to  us  directly  from  interested  friends.  These  ire  bare  rcarlicl  hi/  either 
advertising,  telephone,  telegraph  or  correspondence,  many  of  Uiem  reaching  the  extreme 
corner  of  the  United  States. 

The  HONOR  BOOK  and  RECORD  will  therefore  be  found  more  pa  fed  than  <inn 
text  noic  in  existence. 


FOREWORD 

It  is  our  desire  and  we  sincerely  hope  that  this  volume  shall  find  appreciation  in 
the  hearts  of  its  readers.  Dedicated  is  this  token  of  lore  and  liomaue  to  Menard 
County's  heroes  of  nineteen  hundred  and  seventeen  and  nineteen  hundred  and  eighteen 
ichosc  noble  defense, of  home  and  loved  ones  inspire  the  lore  and  gratitude  too  sincere 
and  profound  tn  be  coined  Hi  words  and  phrases. 

From  field,  industry,  shop,  and  a  sheltered  home  the  t/onth  of  Menard  County  has 
anxivered  America's  call  to  arms. 

Such  is  Americanism!  Menard  County!  Brave  Menard!  KJie  has  plaited  her  heroic 
part  in  the  grim  and  ghastly  game  of  war. 


THE    MAGIC    WORDS    "COMPANY    C." 

A  phrase  we  speak  tenderly.  The  magic  words  "Company  C!"  On  the  street 
during  hostilities  "Company  C"  mentioned  has  proved  the  magnet,  drawing  a  eroird  about 
the  speaker,  listeners  eager  for  the  bit  of  information  on  the  welfare  of  the  Company 
on  ichose  activities  the  eyes  of  the  whole  community  were  centered. 

Not  that  the  stories  of  the  "Company  C"  boys  have  not  been  repeated  orer  and 
orcr  again  with  variations  in  the  stories  in  many  of  our  county's  fighting  men  :  not  thai 
we  are  forgetful  of  the  heroes  of  other  battle  fronts  and  other  division.*;  bul  because. 
so  many  of  the  boys  were  in  "Company  C"  and  together  faced  the  horrors  of  modem 
warfare,  suffering  the  loss  of  comrades  on  the  field  of  battle,  most  of  them  mere  lads, 
many  leaving  high  school  courses  unfinished  to  lay  their  lives  on  the  attar  for  their 
country's  need. 

"Company  C"  has  made  a  name  for  itself  in  the  military  annals  of  history — a 
name  that  has  made  General  Pershing,  in  naming  over  the  honored  divisions,  add: 
"and  the  33rd  Division,  124th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  Company  C." 

Just  is  the  pride  in  which  we  hold  the  men  from  the  county  that  irent  to  make 
make  up  the  illustrious  "Company  C." 

They  are  coming  back!  Two  years  after  their  debut  into  the  military  irorld  irr 
no  doubt  will  find  the  boyishness  gone  and  in  its  place  the  rigor  and  determination 
of  manhood — a  manhood  crowned  ivith  victor}/  and  success,  bought  at  the  expense  of 
the  precious  lives  »f  comrades  and  the  battle  scars  of  war. 


At  home  all  know  the  achievement*  of  Menard  County  in   the  great   war   drire*    thai 
have   gone   to   finance    the    victorious    men   of    the   nation. 

While    our    boys    were    mobilizing    and    fighting    Menard    lias    nere-r    fallen     xltor.t    of 
doing    her    duty.      She    has    satisfied    each    t/nota    mapped    out    for    lier    by    lite    stale    a/id 
National   Committees,   meeting    every    call    for    the    xnpport    of    our    .sn/J/Y/ •*.    an  ! 
instances    has    more    than    met    the    obligation,    .seemingly    nnirilling    to    stop    tJie    giving 


LINCOLX'X    GETTYSBURG    Sl'EECH. 

(Address  at  the  dedication  of  Gettysburg 
Cemetery,  \ov.  J'J.  /x <;.,'.; 

Fourscore  and  seren  vears  auo  our  fathers 
brought  forth  on  tlii*  continent  a  new  nation, 
conceived  in  liberty  and  dedicated  in  the  prop 
ofiition  that  all  men  are  created  equal. 

\ow  we  are  cnganed  in  a  great  civil  war, 
testing  whether  that  nation,  or  a  UK  other  na- 
tion so  conceived  and  so  dedicated,  can  long 
endure.  We  are  met  on  a  (treat  battle  field 
of  that  war.  We  hare  come  tu  dedicate  a 
portion  of  that  field  as  a  final  resting  place 
of  those  who  here  gare  their  lires  that  that 
nation  might  live.  It  is  altogetJier  fitting  and 
{trotter  that  we  should  do  this. 

l'»nt,  in  a  larger  name,  ire  cannot  Dedicate — 
•ire  cannot  consecrate-  ire  cannot  hallow — this 
f/i-oiind.  The  brave  men.  lirimj  and  dead,  who 
tttrufioled  here  have  conxccrnted  it,  fur  above 
our  poor  power  to  add  or  detract.  The  world 
idll  little  note,  nor  long  remember  what 
.vaii  here,  but  it  can  nerer  foraet  what  they 
did  here.  It  is  for  11*  the  lirin</,  rather,  to  be 
dedicated  here  to  the  unfinished  work  which 
they  icho  fought  here  hare  thus  far  *o  nobli/ 
advanced.  It  is  rather  for  UN  to  be  here  dedi 
cated  to  the  great  taxi;  remaining  before  its — 
that  from  these  honored  dead  we  take  in- 
creased devotion  to  that  cause  for  which  then 
gave  the  last  full  measure  of  derotion — that 
we  here  highly  resolve  that  these  dead  shall 
not  have  died  in  vain — that  this  nation,  undo 
<!<>il.  shall  have  a  new  birth  of  freedom — and 
that  government  of  the  people,  by  the  people, 
for  the  people  shall  not  perish  from  the  earth.

In  /ftemorian 


Valiant  soldiers  and  sailors  have  gone  from  their  homes  in  Menard  County  and 
have  entered  the  Ch'eat  War  with  hopes  high,  to  have  them,  blasted  and  the  hearts  of 
their  loved  ones  crushed  by  death. 

To  the  homes  in  Menard  County  thus  boiced .  undei-  the  weight  of  sorroic,  this  is 
the  message  of  hope  and  comfort .  that  has  been  .  written  for  them: 

"Out  of  the  clouds  of  grief  brought  about  by  the  touch  of  the  angel  of  death  comes 
the  knoirled'ge  that  without  such  sacrifices  this  war  was  not  to  be  won  by  the  forces  of 
right.  Written  into  the  glorious  histories  of  the  world's  great  war  ic ill  be  the  stories 
of  the  valiant  dead  whose  deeds  of  bravery  and  heroism  have  made  glorious  the  vic- 
tories of  that  war  for  righteousness." 

That  is  the  consoling  message  to  soften  the  bleeding  hearts  of  the  mothers  and 
the  wives;  that  is  the  consciousness  of  duty  well  done,  a  debt  to  home  and  country 
paid  in  full,  and  to  all  the  allied  nations  who  crowned,  them  with  the  laurels  of  a  fight 
icell  done,  n  victory  gloriously  won. 

This  is  the  splendid  tribute  paid  to  the  memory  of  honored  dead — a  tribute  not  due 
to  any  other  body'  of  men. 

Flags  have  been  at  half  mast. — Death  has  demanded  these  loved  ones  from  within 
our  borders.  We  shall  always  remember  that  the  homes  of  these  honored  onds  will  con- 
tinue to  be  desolate  throughout  the  years  to  come.

John  M.  Smoot,  Chairman  of  the  Local  Exemption  Board  of  Menard  County,  Illinois, 
born  in  Menard  County  on  May  lJt,  1860.  He  is  a  son  of  William  C.  and  Catherine 
M  moot,  pioneer  residents  of  Menard  County,  both  of  whom,  departed-  this  life  in  1905. 
John  M.  Smoot  graduated  from  Eureka  College  in  the  spring  of  1882,  was  married  in 
December  of  the  same  year  to  Minnie  F.  Brooks  of  McLean  County,  Illinois.  Three* 
children  were  born,  namely,  Mabel  I.  Laning,  Katie  E.  DuQuoin  and  Harold  L.  Smoot » 
all  surviving  and  all  residents  of  Petersburg. 

After  his  graduation  he  read  law  in  the  office  of  the  Hon.  N.  If.  Branson,  now 
deceased,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1885,  removing  almost  immediately  to  Kansas, 
where  he  practiced  his  profession  for  some  eight  years,  returning  to  Illinois  in  1895. 
He  has  been  engaged  in  the  practice  of  his  profession  at  Petersburg  since  his  return. 

He  was  State's  Attorney  of  Menard  Count!/  for  two  successive  terms,  being  elected 
in  189(i,  and  re-elected  in  1900.  He  was  a  director  of  the  First  National  Bank  of 
Petersburg  for  ten  years,  voluntarily  retiring  from  the  directorate  at  the  beginning  of 
1919. 

John  M.  Smoot  belongs  to  the  Christian  Church  and  is  a  teacher  of, the  men's  class 
in  its  Sunday  School.  He  is  a  Democrat  in  politics,  believes  the  English  language  suf- 
ficiently virile  and  expressive  to  enable  any  good  Amercian  to  express  his  opinions  or 
desires,  ami  thinks  there  is  room  in  the  United  States  for  but  one  flag,  and  that  "Old 
Glory." 

Speaking  as  ivell  for  the  other  members  <of  the  Local  Board  as  for  himself,  he 
desires  to  express  the  board's  ad^niration  for  the  splendid  eager  patriotism  of  our  boys 
to  enter  the  military  and  naval  service  of  our  country  in  the  mightiest  and  most  san- 
guinary conflict  in  all  history,  a  war  tchich  ice  entered  to  procure  a  permanent  peace 
and  to  "make  right  the  law  of  the  world." 


Christian  C.  Juhl,  Secretary  of  the  Local  Board  of  Menard  County,  rendering  his 
services  gratuitously  to  his  Government  during  the  war  with  Germany,  was  born  July 
17,  1867,  in  Lengetwed,  North  Schlesicig,  a  part  of  Denmark,  ichich  was  torn  from  the 
mother  country  after  the  u:ar  of  186Jt  in  the  characteristic  fashion  of  the  Central  Powers 
at  the  very  beginning  of  Germany's  conquest  for  world  domination. 

He  was  the  youngest  son  of  H.  C.  M.  and  Marie  Juhl.  Was  reared  on.  the  farm; 
attended  the  public  schools  in  Denmark  in  ichich  was  taught  both  Danish  and  German. 
Being  dissatisfied  with  the  imperialistic  form  of  government,  and  of  democratic  con- 
victions, decided  to  go  to  America,  arriving  in  Menard  County  in  April,  1883,  at  the  age 
of  15.  Devoted  his  time  to  farming,  removing  to  Nebraska  in  the  Fall  of  1887.  He 
was  naturalized  at  Lexington,  Nebraska,  February  .',,  1889. 

He  entered  as  a  student  of  the  Omaha  Business  College  in  March,  1889,  graduating 
from  that  institution  with  the  Class  of  1890,  July  16th.  After  graduation  he  was 
offered  a  position  as  assistant  instructor  of  that  college,  which  he  declined,  prefering 
to  get  into  active  business,  accepting  a  position  of  bookkeeper  in  a  general  store.  After 
two  years  of  this  service  he  entered,  at  Omaha,  the  employ  of  the  Metropolitan  Life 
Insurance  Company  of  New  York.  After  eleven  months  of  this  service  was  promoted 
to  assistant  superintendent,  serving  as  such  for  two  years,  and  promoted  again  to 


superintendent  and  general  manager  for  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  and  subsequently  at  LaFay- 
ette,  2nd..  Columbus,  Ind.,  and  Mans  ft  eld,  Ohio.  After  eight  years'  continuous  service 
he  resigned  in  June,  1901,  on  account  of  ill  health,  to  go  back  to  the  farm. 

He  was  married  to  Minn  Hattie  \\atkins  of  Petersburg,  III.,  May  11,  1899.  One 
child  was  born,  a  daughter,  Mildred,  now  a  student  at  Word  Belmont. 

Mr.  Jnhl  is  a  Republican  in  politico  and  first,  last,  and  all  the  time  an  American. 
In  speaking  of  his  experience  with  the  Local  Hoard  he  desires  to  say  that  in  the  con 
duct  of  its  business  it  has  repeatedly  merited  the  commendation-  of  the  District  Board 
at  Springfield,  due  largely  to  the  patriotism  and  willing  submission  to  our  young  men 
to  serve  their  Gorernment.  Credit  must  also  be  given  to  the  staunch  support  of  those 
//•/jo  remained  at  home,  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  every  drive  for  the  Red  Cross  or  the 
I'nitcd  War  Work  icas  carried  over  the  top  in  record  time,  unsurpassed  by  any  count)/ 
in  the  State — an  enviable  distinction  to  acquire  in  the  gigantic  struggle  for  world 
democracy. 

Dr.  II.  1'.  Moulton,  medical  member  of  the  Local  Hoard  of  Menard  County,  was 
born  on  a  farm  near  Maquoketa,  Jackson  County,  Iowa,  December  7,  1873,  son  of  Thos. 
./.  and  Lovina  (Goleman)  Moulton,  former  a  native  of  New  York,  the  latter  of  Ontario 

Dr.  Moulton  acquired  his  preliminary  education  in  the  public  schools  of  Jackson 
County,  Iowa,  graduated  from  the  Maquoketa  High  School,  entering  the  University 
of  Iowa  as  a  student  in  the  medical  department  for  two  years.  Entering  the  Chicago 
Homeopathic  Medical  College,  from  which  institution  he  was  gradhiated  with  the  class 
of  1899*  and  following  the  completion  of  his  course  there,  he  came  to  Petersburg,  where 
he  located  for  practice. 

On  March  18,  1902,  he  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss  Mary  Catherine  Kriegh, 
daughter  of  E.  M,  and)  Helen  (Pyatt)  Kriegh  of  Springfield.  There  are  two  children. 
Helen,  age  IS,  and  Horace,  age  10. 

Dr.  Moulton  was  coroner  of  Menard  County  from  1912  to  1916,  and  is  Vice  Presi- 
dent of  the  Central  Illinois  Homeopathic  Medical  Society  an  well  as  a  member  of  the 
School  Board,  and  a  director  of  the  Old  Salem  Chautauqua  Association. 

Together  with  the  other  very  efficient  members  of  the  Local  B«ard  he  has  carried 
out  his  duties  and  desires  to  say  that  it  icas  a  fine  bunch  of  boys  that  came  before  the 
Board,  and  it  was  with  pleasure  that  he  learned  to  know  no  many  Menard  County  people 
whom  otherwise  he  would  perhaps  never  have  known. 

The  Local  Board  ivishes  to  express  their  deep  appreciation  of  the  assistance  given 
by  Drs.  Epling,  Newcomer  anil  Scott,  who  proved  at  all  times  ready  and-  willing  to 
render  their  services.
